Same. The fact that he stepped down harkens back to a time when officials took responsibility for their gaffs. Given the current pedigree of public officials, I'd rather that he stayed on, instead of being replaced by someone worse

Microcontrollers. I never quite got what electrical engineering was all about.

Then I picked up my first esp32, and - boom - sucked into the maker space, staying up all night reading up on the intracies of using i2c over UART


People who vote for less government forget that it only empowers big businesses, whilst the protections for small business and individuals are muscled out

> He has described a method he has used that he says gave him success: he pictured in his mind what he wanted and wrote it down 15 times a day on a piece of paper

I somehow read about him doing this when I was 18, and it was something that I used to help me excel in my university exams. For 7 years I did this during my exam period, and each time I got the exact grades I wanted.

He gave immense focus to a kid with back-then undiagnosed ADHD, and helped me structure my life in general.

I am very grateful to him.


It's not clear what this does to me, even after playing around with it

I guess I dont understand the use-case either, but that's okay - it's not for me, and plenty of others get it

All good! Thanks.

My job's SSO moved to provider that either required an unrooted phone or a reliable Voice auth.

For 2 years the voice authentication worked fine (they call me, I type in a number) on my regular rooted phone. Then one random morning I just stopped getting the phone calls. "Network said no".

Complete lock out, nothing I could do except go out and panic-buy an unrooted phone not running Lineage and using a modern Android version. (I tried my older unofficial lineage phones without root, and no dice.)

I opted for a good phone I could postmarket later, but gosh did it set me back almost 1/5 of my monthly salary.


This does sounds like the situation where the employer should provide you with the phone.

Indeed. Never spend your own money on work related expenses. If your job requires a phone, they need to provide one.

Wouldn't the race progress > 0.9 be a good enough input?


Whilst I did more new things in my 20s, I do recall my perception of days as a child being much much longer. I have distinct recollection of feeling almost clinical depression when I was about 8 after being told that we would be going to the seaside tomorrow and not today. To a childs perception of time, it was an agonizing eternity.


> To a childs perception of time, it was an agonizing eternity.

For me as a child, even getting a haircut was a dreary experience. It felt as an eternity I had to sit mostly immobile, while somebody else maneuvered sharp blades around my head. Nowadays it feels like I barely accomodated in the chair, it's already over.


Children run on “sleeps” and eventually weeks - a single day is such a large percentage of their life, after all!

And each year is new, even if just teachers changing; but most have new things you can do.
